Dads Appreciating Down Syndrome, or D.A.D.S., is an organization of fathers of children who have Down syndrome. We hesitate to call ourself a “support group,” even though we do, in many ways, support each other. We prefer to think of D.A.D.S. as an “action group.” You won’t find us in a church basement drinking warm coffee and whining about having children with Down syndrome. Instead, you’ll find us out in the community coaching our kid's sports teams, participating in our children’s IEPs, volunteering at local Down syndrome fund raising events, and even sponsoring fund raising events of our own.
